As presidential candidates spar, trucking industry remains focused on the issues

Back in the 1800s, the term “silly season” was used to describe times when the newspapers, for a lack of any major events, focused on trivial or frivolous matters. Eventually, the phrase was applied to any time “marked by frivolous, outlandish or illogical activity or behavior,” according to Merriam-Webster. This year’s election campaigns might be viewed by some pundits as outlandish, although truthfully, there’s nothing humorous when thinking about the future of the nation. Regardless, there’s no denying that campaigns have been marked by never-before-seen activities and occurrences. The campaign season has been marked by historic events, including the last-minute resignation from reelection by an incumbent president and assassination attempts on a former president and current candidate. That’s not to mention the possibility of the first woman — and one of Black and Indian descent, at that — to occupy the Oval Office.
